There are messages on my server, but I cannot receive them in Thunderbird

I do get pop-ups for incoming messages, but nothing is shown in my inbox. Only after closing and reopening Thunderbird I will get the messages in my inbox.

This happens on my Mac, on my (Windows) computer and on my (Android) tablet.

What is going on?

I've seen two other people mention such a thing. Never got to the bottom of it.

Start Thunderbird in safe mode https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode

Does problem go away??

Starting in safe mode does not solve the problem as it is the same as close and restart in normal mode like I did before.

Another curious thing is that my partner, who has his own mailbox, receives his messages without a problem. However, if he sends me a test message from his account, it shows MY name as sender in my mailbox and his e-mail address in the message itself.
